mortgage coins
It has become a tradition in ancient times to make a sacrifice before starting an important business. And the more we go deep into the depths of the centuries, the more serious these victims were. Before construction, human life was sacrificed. According to the people of those times, it was believed that the structure, before the construction of which a sacrifice was made, would be stronger and last longer. It is believed that the name of the fortified house "detinets" came precisely from the fact that before the start of work, a baby was sacrificed. After such barbaric rites before construction ended, instead of people and animals, they began to pawn coins.
Mortgage coins were placed in different places in the structure of the house. Methods for laying coins depend on the traditions of the people building the house. But mainly, such coins were pawned in inaccessible places, which are simply impossible to get without violating the integrity of the house. As a rule, such coins were laid at the "red" angle, at all angles, under the windowsills, under the threshold and under the mat. It should be clarified that the right corner of the wall of the house, which runs parallel to the street of the village on which the house was built, was called the red corner.
Coins were pawned of different values, depending on the wealth of the owners of the house. Poor peasants pawned one coin of a small denomination each, wealthy gentlemen in their homes - several coins of a high denomination at once. Therefore, information about the status of the owners of the house will be very useful to the seeker.
